The Washington Capitals will look to keep rolling at home as they welcome the New York Rangers to D.C. on Friday night.

It's the second in a stretch of games that will see the Caps play eight of nine in the friendly confines of Capital One Arena, with an emphatic win over the Penguins already in the books.

While Alex Ovechkin was the center of attention at the home opener as he begins his farewell season but Tom Wilson played the starring role with a goal and two assists. Those two are longtime fixtures, but Caps fans also have to like what they've seen from Alex Tuch, who has three goals in three games to date in his first season with the team after coming over from Buffalo.

The Rangers are coming in hot, with four consecutive wins on the heels of a season-opening loss the Bruins, and this figures to be a great way to head into the weekend. Here's when and where to tune in.
